Ever since the decision was made to let the Ministry of Rites welcome back King Yizhong's family, the imperial court began to be in a strange and strange atmosphere.

Although the saint gave an order, it was approaching the end of the year at this time, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were busy, and there was no clear intention of welcoming back King Yizhong today, so the Ministry of Rites put this matter aside after several hectic times. Although I don't know if the rest of the princes have done something in it, it seems that the return of King Yizhong will not be possible before the year.

Originally, the Holy Rite did not make it clear when the Ministry of Rites would welcome King Yizhong back to the capital, and the Ministry of Rites was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and they thought that it would be okay to push this matter to after the New Year's Festival, but unexpectedly, after the Holy Lord learned about it, he was furious and attacked several old ministers including the Ministry of Rites and Shangshu one after another.

With such a show, where do the people of the Ministry of Rites dare not do their best to do their best in the affairs of the righteous and loyal king. However, a few days later, when the Ministry of Rites issued an excerpt and planned to welcome back King Yizhong with the gift of the prince, the saint was noncommittal and left the excerpt in the middle, which made people have to guess what the saint's attitude towards King Yizhong was.

When I questioned the officials of the Ministry of Rites for the matter of King Yizhong, everyone thought that the Holy Lord still attached great importance to King Yizhong, otherwise he would not scold the old ministers who had always been loyal for the matter of King Yizhong; But when the Holy Admiral's excerpt from the Ministry of Rites was left behind, everyone was dumbfounded.

What does it mean to stay in the middle and not send it? Do you think it is inappropriate to welcome back King Yizhong with the gift of a prince? Although King Yizhong is now embarrassed, but in the end, he is the son of today, and he does not greet him with the courtesy of a prince, but with what level of honor guard? Under the prince, only the king of the county is more in line with the identity of the king of Yizhong, but if the saint means to take back the king of Yizhong with a lower guard of honor, what is the matter with the previous scolding? Or did the Holy Lord feel that the prince's courtesy was not enough, and that he wanted to take back King Yizhong with a higher standard of etiquette - for example, with a guard of honor that only the crown prince could enjoy?

Zhang Rui complained to Jia Yu about this: "This matter is not clear, no one wants to be the rafters that come out, but the boss refuses to give a clear statement, and it is difficult for the people in the Ministry of Rites to do it." I don't know where to run out of the people to point fingers, one by one they want to use the Ministry of Rites to throw stones to ask for directions, the eldest brother thinks about it, and he can't sleep well at night, and his hair falls out a lot. ”

The eldest brother of the Zhang family is currently the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and it is not surprising that he is embarrassed by this matter, and this matter is simple and simple, and difficult to say, that is, it depends on today's attitude.

In the end, after many times of speculation, the Ministry of Rites wrote again, intending to welcome back the family of King Yizhong with the gift of the county king.

After an unsettling wait, the second letter was written in just one word: "Accurate." ”

Now, the situation is even more confusing.

Jia Daihua has not called Jia Yu to Ningguo Mansion after the matter of King Ning, but he called him after giving instructions on the matter of King Yizhong today, but what he said was not the matter of King Yizhong that Jia Yu expected, but another unrelated matter: "I know from several old friends that there is a vacancy in Shandong for the position of magistrate, and if it is our family activity, we can get it." In your opinion, who is suitable for this position? ”

Jia Yu was quite surprised, he thought that Jia Daihua would call him over what would happen, thought about it, and was about to say that there was no suitable person in the Jia family, but a person's name suddenly jumped out of the corner of his memory, he thought about it, and finally said: "In our family, except for Brother Jing, who has won the Jinshi, and the sixth uncle who has been lifted, there are no people with meritorious reputation, but Brother Jing is still studying in the Hanlin Academy, and he must not go, so in his nephew's humble opinion, the sixth uncle is the most suitable person." What does Uncle think? ”

The sixth uncle in his mouth is Jia Dairu in the generation of the Jia family, and Jia Daihua was very surprised that he would recommend Jia Dairu: "I heard that there is a staff member next to you who is also famous. Originally, I thought that if your staff had that intention, it would be okay for our family to find this position for him, and it would be regarded as a reward for his assistance to you, and if he repaid his kindness in the future, it would also be beneficial to our family. As for your sixth uncle, I haven't considered it, although he is only a county magistrate, but he has real power and many affairs, although he has a reputation for raising people, he is a little insufficient in dealing with people, and I am afraid that he will not be able to cope with many things. ”

Jia Yu said with a smile: "My nephew thinks that the uncle doesn't have to worry about the sixth uncle, there is a saying that 'the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article', the sixth uncle is full of poems and books, so naturally there is no need to worry about this." But what the uncle said is also that the sixth uncle has been concentrating on learning for many years, and he is afraid that he has become unfamiliar with human relations, and the place in Shandong is unfamiliar, and he really can't cope with it without a helper, so it is better to do this, if this matter can be done, the nephew will ask Mr. Liu next to the nephew to be the sixth uncle's staff and give advice to the sixth uncle. ”

Jia Daihua asked: "Is it the famous staff member next to you?" ”

Jia Yu replied: "Exactly, Mr. Liu has been by his nephew's side for a few years, but according to his nephew's point of view, Mr. Liu is more suitable for doing practical things, he is a literati, and his nephew is a military general, but there is nothing important to bother him, Mr. Liu is really overkill by his nephew's side, and now he has this opportunity to do something for the people, presumably Mr. Liu is also very happy." ”

Jia Daihua said lightly: "It's useless, you still use him, don't learn from your brother, you only know how to talk to those boastful Qingke all day long." ”

Jia Yu replied with a light smile: "My nephew naturally won't, I kept Mr. Liu in the mansion at the beginning, but because my nephew is a martial artist and doesn't know how to write and ink, there must be a learned person by his side so that he won't make a fool of himself in matters such as folding official documents." ”

Jia Daihua nodded and sighed: "Speaking of which, Jing'er, you and your younger brother were all taught by your sixth uncle, and now you have all become officials and have passed the imperial examination, but he has been teaching and educating people in the family school, and because of this, he gave up the possibility of further progress in the imperial examination, which is really admirable." However, the teacher of the family school is easy to invite, but the career of the scholar cannot be delayed, if this matter can be successful, it will also be a little compensation for his years of hard work by our Jia family. ”

Jia Yu smiled and agreed: "No, my nephew has always admired the sixth uncle for not trying to make a name for himself, keeping himself in poverty, and doing his best to teach and educate our family!" ”

He said it very sincerely, so sincere that he couldn't see that he was grinding his teeth secretly in his heart because the evaluation he received from Jia Dairu a long time ago was not as good as Jia Zheng.

Well, that was a long time ago, or that, he doesn't like to read, but Jia Zheng likes it, so of course, he doesn't like Jia Dairu. That's all, but what Jia Yu remembers very deeply is that after Jia Zheng entered the school, Jia Dairu said to his face when Jia Daishan asked about the situation of the two brothers.

You know, Jia Yu is four years older than Jia Zheng, so Jia Dairu said in front of his father that he is not as good as Jia Zheng who just went to school, Jia Yu at that time was simply ashamed and angry, and since then, he has not liked to read anymore, and he doesn't like to read anymore, and he doesn't like Jia Dairu even more, and he even rejects reading more and more.

Of course, that was a long time ago, when the young and vigorous only felt that the matter seemed to have collapsed, but now looking back, it was already a cloud of the past, and there was no trace. But that's it, he doesn't intend to forgive Jia Dairu - if Jia Dairu didn't see Jia Daishan's love for Jia Zheng at that time, and said those hurtful words completely out of conscience, he absolutely didn't believe it.

He recommended Jia Dairu to Jia Daihua as the county magistrate, but this matter was beneficial and harmless to him: first, it is not known whether this matter will succeed, and if Jia Daihua changes his mind halfway, he will not have anything to lose; Second, he remembered that it seemed that since Jia Jing, Jia Dairu had never taught any famous people, and even a show talent was rare? Then it is better to put him somewhere as a petty official, and save the gentleman he invited back from outside to complain to him about Jia Dairu's rigid teaching methods; The third is about Jia Hu, if Jia Dairu is knowledgeable, obediently does his part, and climbs up step by step, then many officials in the family are also good for Jia Hu, although they may not be able to use it; If Jia Dairu has any other thoughts, then don't blame him, Mr. Liu is not one of Jia Zheng's Qingke, and the people who can stay by his side all the time have no means, although they may not be above board; Moreover, Jia Dairu went out as a person instead of continuing to take the imperial examination and then went out after taking the jinshi, which was easier for him to control.

What if it doesn't work out? -- Then Jia Dairu will continue to teach in the family school, he is not the kind Guanzi Bodhisattva who goes around to save people, and he has no heart to change anything for a concubine. As for Jia Dairu's original fate, if he doesn't change, his son and daughter-in-law will die early, and in the end, even his only grandson will be gone? -- What does it matter to him, and he didn't kill people!

He has also heard some rumors about Jia Rui, but in this life, if he still lets Wang Xifeng's woman enter the door to hinder him and Zhang Xian's eyes, he might as well find a rope and hang himself, if this is the case, Jia Dairu's grandson still dies because of lust, he can only say that he is self-inflicted, at most he will send something to invite a good doctor, and he will accumulate yin virtue.

Jia Daihua also took his mind into consideration, but there was another question: "What are you going to say to your aunt about this?" ”

No one will give up the opportunity to be named on the gold list, the reason why Jia Dairu has not participated in the imperial examination after winning the examination is because he feels that he is not talented enough, even if he has no results in the exam; In fact, it is inseparable from Jia Yu's dead father Jia Daishan, for a very simple reason - Jia Dairu is the concubine of the old prince and the cousin of Jia Daishan; Moreover, his biological mother had a very unhappy past with Mrs. Tai when the old prince was still there-such as competing for favor, such as sowing discord, and such as ・・・・・ suppressing the concubine.

Jia Daishan's suppression of Jia Dairu, Jia Daihua knows, but what if he knows? As the patriarch, he didn't agree too much with Jia Daishan's behavior, but when he also stood in the position of his son-in-law, he understood Jia Daishan's actions very well, so he turned a blind eye to this, and Jia Dairu couldn't go up in the position of lifting people.

And now, Jia Daishan is gone, but his son has personally proposed to let Jia Dairu, who was suppressed by his father・・・・・ this feeling is really delicate.

Jia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, which is why he didn't care at all about whether Jia Dairu could be a general: "Grandmother doesn't know about this matter yet, and I ask the uncle to give the nephew a little time to let the nephew inform the grandmother about this matter, the nephew is young, and he doesn't know what to do about some things, and this matter still depends on the uncle." ”

If the grandmother didn't care about this, then Jia Dairu could get what she wanted, but the person he put next to Jia Dairu would be both an assistant and a surveillance; If the grandmother is not happy・・・・・・ well, he can consider letting Mr. Liu go by himself, presumably Mr. Liu will be even happier.

What about being learned? What about fame? The difference between the descendants and the concubines is that they will be favored again, and the fate of the side branches is not between the words of the concubines.
